According to a Chinese state media report, Zuckerberg is said to have praised China's accomplishments in the development of its Internet. He also reportedly said he wanted to better understand the country and work with China's tech leaders.

A Facebook spokeswoman told CNNMoney on Saturday that the two men discussed "the future of Internet development."

Facebook is still banned in China, and it's unclear whether or not Zuckerberg talked about plans to change that status. The Facebook spokeswoman said she didn't have any further details to share.

On the same day that he met with Liu, Zuckerberg also hosted a "fireside chat" with Alibaba(BABA) founder Jack Ma at the China Development Forum. The conference is put on by the government's research arm.
